Janus Electric

Janus Electric is an Australian company pioneering zero-emission solutions in heavy vehicle transport.

Driven by a mission to decarbonize the freight industry, the company specializes in converting existing diesel heavy trucks (Class 8 prime movers) into electric vehicles instead of building new ones, significantly reducing waste and upfront costs.

The company’s patented technology includes a unique exchangeable battery system. In just four minutes, a depleted battery can be swapped for a fully charged one at a Janus Electric “Charge & Change” station – these battery exchange stations are strategically located along key transport routes and can be powered by renewable energy (such as solar or wind), allowing trucks to operate with zero emissions and minimal downtime.

Janus Electric’s innovative business model combines one-time heavy vehicle conversion services with a recurring battery-as-a-service network. By separating the battery from the vehicle, fleet operators avoid the high upfront cost of battery ownership and instead pay for energy on a usage or subscription basis.

This approach, along with the inherently lower maintenance and fuel costs of electric drivetrains, translates to major savings over a truck’s lifetime. With its focus on sustainability and practical innovation, Janus Electric provides a scalable and financially viable pathway for the transport industry to achieve net-zero emissions without compromising on efficiency or profitability.
